Having said that, I’m not sure if there is a functional way to be a member of a Facebook group without having one’s name show up (but I’m not a regular Facebook user). Tradition 11 suggests that we remain anonymous in the public media. Facebook is social media, and open to the public at large.
#FACEBOOK ADDICTS ANONYMOUS MEETINGS FULL#
One issue that I did see with all of them is that some individual’s full names are posted on the main page, which would appear to be in conflict with Tradition 11. However, I did not join any of the groups, so I’m not sure what they are posting. There was no indication of Tradition 6 violation on their main pages. So, if the Facebook groups are following Tradition 3, then they have the right to call themselves an SLAA group.Īs for Tradition 6, what is important is whether these groups are endorsing / lending our name / financing an outside enterprise. They are actually using Sex and Love Addiction Anonymous. The LAA meeting does not use the SLAA name. The one from Charleston SC is specific to just one women’s group. The largest Facebook group has a good description that is straight from our program literature, and appears to be well managed.

The second portion of Tradition 3 reads: “…any two or more persons gathered together for mutual aid in recovering from sex and love addiction may call themselves an SLAA group, providing that as a group they have no other affiliations.” I reviewed the main web page for all the Facebook groups, and is appears that they are all following it. My response is that meetings do not need to be affiliated with SLAA FWS, and that only adherence to Tradition 3 is needed. Is the name appropriate and in keeping with Tradition 6? The second component of the question is more straightforward. It is not clear exactly what is meant by that, but my assumption is that the person asking the question wants to be sure they are legitimate groups. The first component is whether the Facebook private groups are affiliated with SLAA FWS in some fashion.
